Week 4


Week 4 : Reflection :
Another interesting , fruitful week , full of learning and exchanging . One of the discussions which I liked most this week was the elaboration of a technology enhanced lesson plan . This discussion generated a lot of ideas and tips that can be used teaching skills , vocabulary , grammar and pronunciation .A lot of tips that can be used in our classes the coming weeks . The discussion enables us to use what has been learnt since the course started , in terms of writing objectives , web search , bookmarking and how all this learning can be implamented …
Another week , another focus on reading and writing and how much technology can help improving these two important skills . Using technology in class doesn't really look so complicated , it is at the reach of teacher whose determination is improving his students skills , involving them in the process of learning , keeping them interested in the subject and thus reaching his objectives . I realize that writing a lesson plan shouldn't be taken for granted . The lesson plan is the very essense of a successful course , its skeleton , its framework whose parts are fitted and joined together. I must admit today that I have never thought about including the teaching styles in my lesson plan though I 've always taken into the fact that I 'm addressing different students with different teaching styles .
I'm sorry I couldn't partipate very often in the discussion this week . I had a lot of problems I got serious flu which I have not recovered from yet . I wish I could feel better next week to benefit more !
Week 5 is about to start and I didn't see time passing !

  1. Dear Farah,
    I read your post and I agree with you and Gaby, we are all learning a lot here and no matter where we are from, I believe that we all have found new and interesting reasons to use technology.
    I understand what you have been trough this week, me too I had lot of issues and I couldn't be a part of discussions nearly as often as I would have liked. I hope we do a much nicer work this coming week and I hope you get better from your flu.

    Regards,
    Tatiana
